Why is this line a valid promise:
const promise = Promise.resolve('Hello');
But not this:
const otherPromise = () => {
return Promise.resolve('Hello');
}
When trying to call the second example with:
function runOtherPromise() {
otherPromise
.then(v => console.log(v));
}
...I get TypeError: otherPromise.then is not a function
. It works fine with the first example, though. I don't understand why the second example doesn't return a promise.

otherPromise is a function, you should call it like below:
runOtherPromise() {
otherPromise()
.then(v => console.log(v));
}
